The best

Crime junkie has changed the way I view true crime and has helped mold and inform my thoughts on so much that’s going on in the world. It can be very fun and entertaining to listen to but if you let it, it can also be very moving and emotional.
The first time I heard the podcast I was on a road trip with my family from Wisconsin to Arizona (which is a long time to be in a car with family) and I fell in love. At first it was just extremely interesting, well told stories that kept myself and my family from going crazy in a car. As I continued to listen it became so much more. Crime Junkie and Audio Chuck have truly changed true crime for the better.
I can’t say enough good things about it and the people involved. So grateful 💗

CJ 💜💜💜

I’ve listened to CJ since December of 2018; a friend recommended it , I started listening that same day , and binged all the episodes within a month . I became a fan club member pretty quickly as well. I love Ashley and Brit and everything they do for CJ ( as well as Delia and the other reporters and team members who help in making CJ the amazing thing that it is ). I also love that along with just making episodes, CJ has been proactive in raising funds and donations , helping families , demanding Justice , and raising public interest in cases that weren’t getting enough attention . As far as the app itself , I love that I can sort episodes different ways, find older episodes easily , and find announcements quickly as well . I’ve ne er had any issues using the app . I for sure won’t deduct stars for it , but the only criticism I can think of is that I really really miss Headlines .. like as much as I’m always excited for new episodes, for some reason I’d get double excited for Headlines. But we can’t always get everything we want and things change ; I completely understand if it was just too much on everyone’s already full plates or something to that extent . Definitely doesn’t stop me from continuing to love love love CJ .

Worth every penny!

I have never fell in love with a podcast so fast as I did this one! Every episode is so well done. Their voices are so soothing. I started off with Apple Podcasts and hated the commercials. I found this app and IMMEDIATELY signed up for the top tier membership! WORTH EVERY PENNY! You get exclusive content, bonus episodes, enhanced app activity, get into merch drop first, discounts etc. I look forward to every episode! I’m new so I have a LOT to catch up on. You could listen to this from sun onto sun down and NEVER get board! It’s so amazing that they take the time that they do to bring light so so many cases that have been “forgotten” or “cold”. This community always works together to find information to help bring closure to loved ones who might not have had any. They also work with so many different charity’s. I’m so thankful I found this podcast and I look forward to every episode big or small. Be Weird Be Rude Stay Alive!

Best birthday gift ever!

Got a subscription to the Crime Junkie Fan Club app for my birthday and I was like a kid on Christmas morning! I can’t say enough good things about the app and about the Crime Junkie podcast! I don’t do social media and there are very few shows, podcasts or events that you can have interaction with other listeners/viewers or presenters. This app allows me to post comments and read others’ comments as well as dm the Audiochuck team. The only issue I have with the app is that it won’t save my filters. For example, if I filter oldest to newest, then leave the app, when I open it the next time, I have to re-sort. I still give it a 5-star, though because it is my gateway to Ashley and Brit and the best true crime fans in the world!

Recommended to everyone who loves true crime

I love Ashley and Brit’s podcast crime junkie (the deck and the deck investigates are also AMAZING). This podcast is the only true crime podcast I can listen to. I have tried other ones, but I always have to come back to crime junkie. This podcast is the best true crime podcast because it is victim-centered, kindness and compassion for the families and those affected, and it promotes change and ways to help. This podcast is not all about entertainment, but about creating real good out of traumatic and life altering situations. I have been a listener for about 5 years, and I will continue to listen and re-listen until they stop making content. Thank you Ashley and Brit for creating an amazing gift that creates real good and real change for the world, you are amazing!

Crime Junkie is the best

Love crime junkie.
The app is amazing, being able to listen, set a timer, filter shows. Just spot on

What’s not to love?

I love crime junkie and when I learned they had their own app I was all for it!! I love the extra episodes and the updates on past cases. I really enjoy having the information right there in my hands when they reference a picture or map. They tell the stories in ways that show they truly care about the people involved, and finding answers.

The membership has bonuses that allow me to indulge in new episodes early, and extra content. I also enjoy the early access to the merch store!

The only thing that I don’t like is that it doesn’t show up as an app in CarPlay :-( so I either have to be logged into it before I plug in my phone or just listen to a recent episode through Apple Podcasts.

My favorite podcast

I love listening to Ashley’s and Brit’s take on all the cases. I never listened to podcasts in the past but once I started listening to crime junkie I had to become a part of the fan club because, I just couldn’t get enough. Now it’s become a part of my routine. I listen throughout my shift at work. I love the add free version and how there is access to the pictures it really helps with understanding the cases. It really helps that you can download the m episodes and hide the ones you’ve listened to. The app works well for me. Occasionally it logs me out but it’s nothing for me to log back in. Ashley and Brit are the best story tellers. I love crime junkie!

Grateful for CJ💜

Ashley, Brit and the wider team at CJ consistently produce ethical and engaging content - the bonus content in the app included. Learned so much binging past Headlines episodes. The ability to sort by episode style even means I’ve able to share my passion for ethical true crime with my tween with “mysterious” episodes 🫣

Great app!

I’ve been enjoying the app. It really makes it easier to understand the case with photos that appear as you’re listening. The only thing I wish was an option was if it would remember my settings. I’m listening from oldest to newest and hide played episodes, I wish it would remember my settings so I don’t have to keep changing the filter. Other than that, I love it!!!
